Nebraska’s Big Rodeo

Burwell has been home to Nebraska’s Big Rodeo since the 1920s. Each July, professional rodeo cowboys from across the continent — and local cowboys who work the Sandhills range every day — ride broncos and bulls to the loud cheers of thousands of spectators. The event’s Wild Horce Race is a hoot. More than 18,000 visitors come to the show over its four days.
